Soooo...I just got on my PS4 for the first time today, and notice two new tabs under "Social Feed". One mentions Drop Zone, and the other tells me this about the Ripper:

"Call of Duty: Ghosts DLC Season Pass holders get immediate access to this new weapon today!"

I definitely have the season pass, and as far as I'm aware today is definitely today, yet I can't find any option to download it. The tab also says "The Ripper will be released on May 8th as part of DLC 2: Devastation."

Considering the first part of the Ripper info page, I assume that's the regular release date, and that season pass holders should get it today, as stated in-game. Anyone else seen this? Serious WTF moment.

I hope so, I tend to be more cautious about the release dates as some seem to be way off the mark regardless of the sources. It just means those who don't have access to it will be following me around and waiting for my death so they can pick it up, the same thing happened when I used the two variants of the Maverick. I don't have a headset so cannot communicate with them, so I used their eagerness to lead them into traps and pick off the opposition. Not a a good value for a team member but it becomes annoying having an unwanted shadow and its a way deterring some.

Just have, I missed that the first time I looked, I was distracted by the detail on the weapon. I've watched several Youtube clips with people using it and it looks great fun, how many times are we going to be caught out in the wrong mode when engaging an enemy, only to try and change and die. Death by Ripper switch?

But the 5th is also only three hours away for me. I guess they may just be putting the page up early as it's already the 5th for half of the world, and that it'll be available for me at midnight, contrary to what I'm told in-game? Idk...I supposed I'll have to make do with my MTAR until then lol

I'm liking the Bizon a lot now! Its 3hk range with a muzzle brake is now almost the same as the Vector's standard 3hk range, except its firing at 900rpm

It works much better with Deadeye now too, with a much longer 2 and 3hk range. I want to like the Vector for its unmatched range (and Deadeye potential - its 2hk range with muzzle brake is longer than the Honey Badger's), but I can't get over the recoil. I don't know why, it's not even that strong...and I regularly use the TAR with rapid fire, at distances I have no right to be using it hehe

1.28am here (don't ask lol). Just reset my PS4, loaded up Ghosts, and saw no download prompts for the Ripper in the PS Store. So I went into Create A Class to tweak my loadouts before jumping into a Cranked game, and saw a green exclamation mark next to one of my classes...

Umm it is already out for some people and not for others. Half my clan has it the other half doesn't. Some are in Cali and others are in Georgia that have it. So I'm not sure what they are doing with it, kinda dumb that half the people have it and half the people don't.

Why wwon't it let me download it!!!???? WTF!??? pissing me off! Shows it in the sub section, but it's locked! press to download it, takes me to the season pass in store **** that is checked and says purchased...? The hell is going on!? Yet ANOTHER DLC problem for me and this damn game!

i bought the season pass today to get the ripper it says purchased but it wont and i cant download it? has anyone else got the same problem and or soloution? please help!!! payment has gone through though!

Go into the store and download the ghosts team leader pack (it's free with the season pass) and that will kick start the season pass download. Once installed turn you're station off and on again. Enjoy you're new gun.
